I think you'll agree that there is nothing as wonderful in this life as finding your true soul mate.
And I am happy to say it does happen with certain individuals just as it happened to Spencer
and myself (of course, with us it didn't happen on the Internet, because
 they didn't have the Internet in those days, but they did have Tupperware parties.)
Although I am the first one to complain about the dreadful amount of sex going on on the
Web, I can also say that it has been instrumental in people truly fated to come together (the Web,
I mean, not the sex.) Here are some wonderful examples of people I have come in contact with
who have met each other on the Internet and have formed lasting relationships.
 
 

It's hard to say, because all the couples are so special, but I think William Honig and
Bonnie Biffle are my favorite.  They met each other on a Xoom Chat Board where
somehow they got to discussing the daily e-mails they get from Xoom and  which of the
6528 items Xoom offered for sale were good bargains and which were not.
So well did they hit it off, unbeknownst to the other, each immediately logged on
"The Original Internet Love Test " to see if he were compatible with the fascinating
individual he had just met.  Of course they were fabulously compatible,
and soon William was flying to Manitoba, Canada to ask  Bonnie to be his bride.
Spence and I attended the wedding in Skippack, Pennsylvania, where William owns a
99¢ Store franchise, and now Bill and Bonnie spend most of their time logging on e-Bay.
 

As hard as it is to believe, because she looks so American, the girl here is from
the Armenian section of Russia.  Her real name is Svetlana Ishkandarian,
although she calls herself Sammy now that she is living in Kenosha, Wisconsin with her
adorable hubby, Mick McCovey.  By one of those strange twists of fate, last November Mick
accidentally logged on to a site called "Affectionate Russian Beauties", and before he knew it,
there was Svetlana staring up at him.  Mick immediately sent her an e-mail.  Even though
this extraordinary web site offers free translations, Mick did not need to avail himself
since Svetlana wrote better English than he did.  (That's how anxious she was to get
out of that dreadful country.)  One thing led to another, and in no time Sammy was in
Kenosha exchanging marriage vows.  The irony is that Mick's grandfather was
one of the founders of the America First Committee, and his mother was Senator
Joseph McCarthy's massage therapist.
 

Will wonders never cease!  They have a whole chat board on AOL for people who are
into shoes.  I'd never heard of such a thing, so I told my best friend Ruth, and Ruth only
laughed, because she is so much more sophisticated than I.  It was on this chat board
that Sandy Devere met her future husband, Alex Cottrell.  I've never seen a man
pursue a woman with such intensity.  Maybe it was because Sandy was a saleswoman
in San Diego at Fergie's Foot Locker.  All I know is that Alex insisted he come
and live at Sandy's place rather than her coming to him in Sioux City.  And he is
anything but a chauvinist.  He insists Sandy keep her job.  As a matter of fact.
he quit his own job as a meter reader for the Sioux City Power and Light Company
and is now  working at Fergie's Foot Locker.
